Jake Tapper Sex Scandal Rocks CNN: Top Anchor’s Executive Producer LEAVES NETWORK After Becoming Embroiled In Two ‘Inappropriate’ Newsroom Romances
Jake Tapper’s executive producer was ousted from CNN last week after it was revealed he was embroiled in at least two inappropriate newsroom romances with network subordinates, RadarOnline.com can confirm.
Federico Quadrani, who served as Tapper’s executive producer before being fired from CNN on Friday, reportedly hooked up with two CNN subordinates – including a senior producer at the network.
“There were some complaints,” one network insider told the New York Post. “No one had proof, and these things are hard to prove. Jake was aware of the investigation.”
Although an internal investigation was launched into the allegations against Quadrani, and although Tapper was “aware of the investigation,” the 53-year-old The Lead host was then reportedly “presented with something that he couldn’t ignore” on Wednesday.
By Friday, Quadrani was ousted from the network.
“Jake was made aware of it and acted quickly,” another CNN insider told the Post. “Someone discovered something accidentally, and brought it to Tapper. He delivered it to [human resources], and they were terminated.”
